Summer Fruit and Herb Salad with Cucumbers

I have this light, refreshing summer recipe for you. I've been holding onto it for over a week because every time I sit down to write, no words will come. It's not that anything's wrong. I just have a case of writer's block which is fueled by an overabundance of baking for the cookbook. Not to make you feel left out, I've also made English muffins and cherry scones for the blog. But they both need to be retested before I can post the recipes. All of my baking has also helped me immensely in the kitchen, and I have plans to go back and rework some old recipes. Recipes that, at the time were the best I had come up with. Now I know I can do better. That will take some time, of course. Rest assured though, new recipes are coming.

In the meantime, I figure you're probably more interested in this recipe than my ramblings anyway. So until I find the words to explain all the thoughts racing around in my brain (thoughts which, thanks to Diane Eblin, are now racing around on broomsticks like Harry Potter characters in a Quidditch game), I'll simply leave you with this Summer Fruit and Herb Salad with Cucumbers. It is a) delicious, b) full of antioxidants, and c) delicious. Yes, I know I said that twice. Writer's block, remember?

What a totally vibrant salad, Iris! It has health and deliciousness written all over it. Seriously. :-) I don't have writer's block (but sure understand why you would although I think this post is perfectly fine!), but delicious definitely fits. Great entry for Diane's GAHIGF theme!
